The age range of our pupils is from 3 to 18 (i.e. from Nursery to Year 13), with Computing taught as a specialist subject from Year 5.

We seek an authoritative and enthusiastic ICT and computing maestro with the skill and personality to develop further the school’s computing and programming culture.

• Are you a natural teacher, able to appeal to children and teenagers across a wide range of age groups? 
• Can you work closely with teachers across several subjects to develop an exciting computing curriculum? 
• Do you have the skills and contacts to be part of the national debate on computing and programming in schools?

The successful candidate will have a strong background in computer science and must be a self-aware individual with outstanding interpersonal skills, and able to inspire our boys and girls with a love of programming and computing.

The successful candidate will have a wide range of interests, and will be able to contribute to the high cultural and intellectual ethos of the School. Applications are equally welcome from teachers with some years’ experience and from new entrants to the profession. All of our teachers are expected to contribute enthusiastically to the wider life of the school.
